Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

Rebel Hangar is not a quick service. Disney lists it as a table service which likely means you will order from a server who brings your order. TIW is generally not accepted for special events though, and it doubtless qualifies as a special event. We already know DDP will not be accepted.

ok, as with everything Disney, rope drop is your friend. If you're there before the park opens you can get a lot done.
In the morning you could meet some characters, as you've seen the popular ones are Chewie and Vader followed by the Disney as SW guys. Fot the parade grab a spot at least an hour and a half before to guarantee a shady side. If you haven't already book your fp for the SWW shows, SotS is the most popular unless you're coming the last weekend then it would be Conversation with Frank Oz. Darth;s Mall is good to visit in the early morning or in the afternoon.
As for characters without lines you could meet the roaming ones walking around the old Backlot Tour

Thanks for the ideas, I appreciate it!

Us too, 9 days, 11 hrs. We are on the same countdown. Seriously, if you have a connection in phl, then we'd for sure be on the same plane to MCO.

Freaking out on the inside!

That would have been an awesome coincidence, but we have no connecting flight. Straight nonstop from Providence. Funny that we are literally on the same countdown though!

Can't wait for the reports from the Guinea Pig Dissers!! Hope it will make waiting 30 more days a little bit more bearable.

Is it too soon to put in my order for a Tatooine Sunset? After what it took to get the reservation, I'm going to need it!

So, today was busy! Took all day to make my RH adr, took my homeschooling son to JoAnn fabric's where he was able to attend a free "may the 4th be with you" sewing class, and finished another magic band. All in all a great day . 9 more sleeps!

9 days 11 hours till we're on our way. I'm counting that as single digits

9 days from now is our first day at WDW so we're leaving in just less than 8 days (10 hour drive down to arrive at 6 am on the 13th)!! We've been counting down for awhile!

DS keeps asking me this year's theme but I can't find it anywhere. Have they not announced it yet or am I missing it?

Rs for a lou

16 more days left for me.

Luckily I have a trip to Cedar Point this weekend to keep me entertained for a couple days. This will be our first time to this park. Our home amusement park is Six Flags Great Adventure.

Have fun at Cedar point. Lot of rides and great roller coasters. The lake is nice and the weather should be good.

What is the Star Wars dessert party and how do you get a ticket

I did think about trying to save money to fly out of pvd, but our airport here is so close, it just wasn't worth the drive. Happy flying!!

Was looking for some advice for a WDW vet but a SWW newbie. We are going to be at WDW for the 2nd weekend of SWW. My DH is a huge Star Wars fan and wants to get the most out of SWW he can.

The problem is we intend on doing the 24hr party at MK on Friday. We probably won't be getting to DHS until evening on Saturday because of sleeping off the 24hr party. We are planning on seeing atleast the fireworks on Saturday night and are planning to do a full day on Sunday.

What would be a good strategy for us for Sunday to fit in as much as we can since that is our only full day of SWW? Thanks so much for any advice !

My above post was for you, but I couldn't tag you for who knows why.

How fun! We told our kids on April fools day. They didn't know whether or not to believe us. It was quite entertaining.

Are strollers allowed in the area?

From what I remember, there is plenty of space for strollers. I know our party will probably have 2 for the 3 kids that will be with us. And if you don't need it, there is a designated area for them inside the roped off area for us.
